The video series highlights that women repeatedly meet inappropriate and overly approaching men on the mobile dating app, and points Reactions as the remedy that will help them handle such interactions.

Tinder’s new video series also features Whitney Cummings, a famous American comedian who’s helping the company’s team come up with the ideal man. An Instagram share by Cummings of the video to her half a million followers helped Tinder reach out to a broader audience.

Over the last decade, we have witnessed the meteoric rise of online marketplaces along with a tremendous growth in online marketing and advertising activities. Consumers can now compare brands, read reviews, and buy products from the comforts of their offices/homes at any time of the day or night. There are many factors that contributed to the growth of e-Commerce platforms like 24x7x365 availability, fast-loading websites, top-notch security, and a user-centric design. However, these factors have raised the bar of user-expectation and any e-Commerce site that does not offer these features is usually abandoned by the users. In order to live up to the standards, site owners have to spend a lot of time and effort behind managing and maintaining their platforms. Needless to say, choosing the right hosting partner is critical for the success of an online store. Today, we will look at two hosting types preferred by these platforms, Cloud Hosting and VPS Hosting, and compare their features.

Before we begin, let’s take a quick look at what an e-Commerce platform requires from a host:

Negligible downtimes

Top-notch security

Traffic-spike management

Cost-efficiency

Cloud Hosting and Virtual Private Server (VPS) Hosting

In Cloud Hosting, the resources required to run your website are stored on various servers, working in tandem. Also, a virtualization layer enables separation of the resources needed by different instances and/or devices.

VPS Hosting, on the other hand, is a combination of Shared and Dedicated Hosting. A physical server is divided into multiple virtual servers. Further, each virtual server has dedicated resources like CPU, RAM, etc. and is capable of hosting a website.

Comparing Cloud Hosting and VPS Hosting for e-Commerce platforms

Features

Cloud Hosting

VPS Hosting

Customization

Compared to VPS Hosting, you have restricted control over the hosting settings because the resources are spread across multiple servers.

Since the resources are isolated, you have complete root access allowing you to customize the server environment as required.

Uptimes

In Cloud Hosting, there is no single point of failure since the resources are spread across a network of virtual servers. Most Cloud Hosting providers offer around 99.99% uptime assurance.

Since the virtual server on which your site is hosted is on a single physical server, there is a single point of failure. Therefore, if the server crashes or overloads, you might experience downtimes.

Recreational marijuana was first introduced by California. Once they enacted this law, there were several states to follow in their footsteps. Today, Alaska was able to create a decriminalization law for medicinal marijuana use throughout the state. The cannabis industry in Alaska is estimated to be worth $12 million dollars. In fact, marijuana has been quasi-legal in Alaska since 1975. The supreme court made it a constitutional right to possess and use small quantities of cannabis on private property in the mid 70’s. The Ballot Measure 2 bill is responsible for decriminalizing marijuana in Alaska for medicinal and recreational use.

Medicinal marijuana has surpassed recreational use in Alaska. One ounce of marijuana is also acceptable in user form for medicinal use. To legally possess medicinal cannabis in Alaska, you must be 21 years of age.

One thing that a business is going to need to be successful is productivity. A productive business is going to be a very profitable business. Before moving forward, a business has to figure out what being productive really is. Some of the most successful business owners are those that understand that just doing random stuff to seem busy is actually not productive. In fact, some of the activities that are done in the name of productivity can be considered counterproductive. For one thing, it is costing the business a lot of unnecessary money. Therefore, a lot of thought has to go into the amount of money that is being spent and the type of activities that are taking place.

One very important aspect of productivity is safety. A business that is safe is going to be one of the more productive businesses because they have figured out the safety protocols. Therefore, a business that has great safety practices is also going to be trustworthy. However, there are certain businesses that are going to be limited in productivity because of the safety measures that they have to take in order to make sure that they are not causing any extra problems. This is a potentially frustrating position to be in.

Fortunately, there are certain software programs that can help businesses in both areas. One such program is called asset service management. One of the ways that this works is by looking at a business and determining the type of approach it is going to have to take to maintain productivity while being safe in their work. There are also times when businessmen find themselves in positions where they may have to manage their productivity while staying in line with compliance. There are quite a few techniques that can help with compliance and productivity.

One thing that is helpful is scheduling. This is a way for a business to get organized in its efforts. An organized business is more likely to be efficient as well as careful in its approach to fulfilling needs. With the ability to schedule and plan out a day, businesses will be better able to avoid any issues compared to a business that is a little disorganized. Often times, when a business is not organized in its approach, this can result in a cycle where things are being rushed and handled in a lazy way.

Business overall need to be balanced. They need to find a pace that works well for them so that they will be able to meet the needs of the day. A business that fails to find a right pace is going to be stumbling a lot. This is one of the reasons that people who try to start a business without planning anything out are ultimately going to fail until they take the time to look through what they need to do in order to reach people in the market. Also, businesses in industries that could be dangerous are running some risks … Read More

One of the biggest issues with the prepaid mobile connection is the interruption in services as soon the validity date of your recharge plan expires or the balance amount goes below a minimum limit. This is perhaps one of the key reasons why people who do not have budgetary constraints prefer the post paid connection even though their usage of mobile phone is minimal. In the Indian market, though, no comparisons can be made between the number of prepaid and post paid subscribers. The former is way ahead of the latter.

The contention here is that in order to be able to keep enjoying the services of your cellular operator uninterrupted you need to get your mobile recharge done on time. In case you have constraints of time, use a recharge plan that covers for a larger period of time. You can also top-up in smaller shots, as and when required, just go online and use the Paytm App, MobiKwik App or PhonePe App to make activate your mobile connection. Since Apps are customized they save your number and even payment details, so you are done with the entire recharge process in minutes.

In case you are using the browser to make payments, or even the App where the Auto-save feature is deactivated, you need to be extra careful while typing the mobile number that is to be recharged. Remember once the process is done, there is no way to undo it – if a wrong number is fed into the system and the payment is processed, the money is gone with your connection still inactive. Also while the payment is being processed make sure not to use any of the keys on the mobile device or press the refresh button on the browser. This will lead to the process being hung or suspended and the money if deducted already from your account will go amiss – it is very difficult to trace back the money to your account by the retailer or even your cellular operator. In this case too your connection will not get recharged. Do not auto-save passwords on your computer or smart phone. It is always better to type in the password every time you require using the services. Choose a combination of alphabets, numerals and special characters in such a way that it is difficult for people to guess the password.

Times have changed. The long queues at the local recharge coupon shop are passé; those were the days when one required being really patient – the shopkeeper would take his own sweet time to hand you over the recharge coupon or have the process done through his mobile – things are so fast and prompt now. Thanks to internet, things have changed for the better. In this fast-paced world, systems and processes need to be dot-on-time. When such facilities exist, why not use it to your advantage. It is just the question of downloading a suitable App of a reliable reseller and you are … Read More
